Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake

Yum, is all I can say about this cake. I mean, you can't really go wrong with chocolate cake, but this one is really, really good. I usually make my go to chocolate cake, but I wanted to ditch the box, so I found this recipe. It was easy, and yummy! I used it for the second layer in my son's birthday cake, so again, no picture from me, but I was able to paste the one that is on the Hershey's website so you could see just how good it looks. I didn't use the icing recipe, since I used buttercream for the birthday cake, but it's the same as my other chocolate cake icing recipe. I will tell you, this cake makes a lot of cake. I halved it and used it in two 8 inch round cake pans, and it baked right up to the top. So don't use anything smaller than a 9 inch cake pan or you will have to clean up your oven, like I did the first time. Shhh...don't tell anyone that I messed up the first cake!
